One heck of an awful year in so many respects.

BUT,

Not all bad, and we're so very very grateful for that.

The BOYS, specializing in naps (me too)

And introducing:  THE KRAKEN (aka Lizzie)
who arrived May 1 and has kept us all on our toes ever since.

 

 

 

 

A New Art Against Violence Project from DRAW IT OUT

fits my abilities and brings me back to a group I admire:

Successes for 2023:

• releasing some mental & physical stuff

• lots of yoga

Plans for 2024:

• release a lot more stuff

• don't let fear run us

 

What's important:

• keeping our beautiful planet healthy

• eliminating homelessness for all beings

 

 

 

Not a lot of art, sigh.

Maybe next year?

 

 

 

No hiking, no camping,

But one great adventure to finish off the year.
